Handling, Storage and Transport

18.2 Handling and Storage

MINI-X products are high-precision components and should be handled with care.

For transportation of these products in-house, the following points should therefore

be noted:

• Transport guideways and accessories in their original packaging

• Protect guideways against impacts

• Always transport MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS carriages on guide rails or on

the protective plastic rail

The following instructions should be noted to protect against damage:

• Storage in the original packaging is only possible for a limited period. The

condition of the products should be checked at regular intervals.

• Do not store the products in the open. Protect them against moisture and

humidity (10% – 70% non-condensing)

• Pay attention to the temperature:

MINIRAIL -40° C to + 80° C

MINISCALE PLUS -40° C to + 80° C

MINISLIDE MS -40° C to + 80° C

MINISLIDE MSQ -40° C to + 150° C

• Only remove the products from their original packaging at their installation

location and immediately prior to assembly.

• For guideways that are delivered ready-lubricated, the lubricant should be

checked (the service life of the lubricant is limited).

• Always store MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS carriages on the guide rail or

plastic rail so that the rolling elements are protected.

Improper handling of the guideways can lead to preliminary damage and thus to

premature failure. Installation should therefore only be carried out by a qualified

technician.
